It’s been nonstop
For starters, I slept terribly last night but felt better this morning anyway. I was able to get a two hour nap this morning and feel even better after that. The bulk of my day has been spent running errands. I had to run to the bank, take Elliott to the store to exchange a broken Christmas present, hit Rite-Aid to deposit money into PayPal and also get my flu shot. On the way home, I finally found a place with a used tire that we desperately needed and was able to get that done while we were out. Elliott did really well but began not feeling good while the tire was getting replaced. He's still not feeling well and is also nauseated now. I've got him resting…

I’m not doing so well tonight
This is gonna be super short because I feel like shit. Overall, today was a really pleasant day and a great way to ring in the new year. Everyone went to bed without any problems and that was very helpful tonight because I don't feel well at all. I was fine until we got in the car and headed home tonight. My head is pounding and I just want to go to sleep. Generally speaking, I'm not doing so well tonight. I hope everyone had a great day and I'll hopefully be back up and moving in the morning.

Spent time with family today
We had a nice time with my in-laws today for New Year's dinner. Everyone behaved and dinner was really good. I'm pretty sure that I'm still well under my calorie goal for today and that feels awesome. I had a tiny scoop of ice cream for dessert and that was it. ☺ My goal is to get some time on the treadmill tomorrow and keep moving forward with my fitness goals.

Does anyone have experience with their kids pulling their hair out?
Apparently, I spoke too soon when I said that Gavin was having a good day because something has once again come to light. At some point between the time Gavin woke up this morning and now, he's been plucking the hairs on his goatee to the point where I had to make him shave it all off. I don't think we've seen this in at least a few months but he's very much back at it today. I know he pulls hair from other places also and I don't make it a habit of checking at all. The only time I know it's a problem is when I see him doing this to his facial hair. When his goatee comes in, it comes in very thick and dark. As a…

The boys are having a good day
It's business as usual today. We welcomed in a new year in and thus far have had a pretty good day. The boys are in pretty good moods today and that's always a good thing. Gavin is very talkative and exceptionally clumsy today. Everywhere he goes, he's either dropping things or knocking something over. I'm not sure what's going on with him right now but I'm hoping it's just an off day for him. We are going to Lizze's parents for an early New Years dinner. I don't want to make it a late night because I'm tired and we have to get them back into their routine before school starts back in in a few days.

That was awesome or was it?
Emmett couldn't fall asleep last night until well after midnight. Maybe it was the excitement of the new year? Maybe it was all the gunshots being fired off throughout the night? Who knows.... We reached a point where the only way to get him to fall asleep was for me to camp out in the living room with him. Needless to say, it was a long night. Rather than focus on the fact I rung in the new year on the couch, I'm choosing to look at this as I rung in the new year hanging out with my son.. ☺

Important year end message to my readers
2016 has been a tumultuous year for The Autism Dad family, full of ups and downs. I began the year as a single father raising the boys on my own and have ended it with my family whole once again. :-) It's always so difficult for me to put together a year in review posts because there's always so much that happens and deciding what makes the cut is tough. I never know what to say that I haven't already said a million times before. For this particular entry, I'm going to try something a little different. Rather than try and list the important things that have happened, I'm simply going to share a few things I've learned this year. 2016 was a year of amazing growth for me as a person. Unfortunately,…
